Answer 1

Answers :-

1. Absorptive state :- for making cellular enery cells use glucose in absorptive state.As its available in huge quantity and easy to metabolise via insulin.

Postabsorptive state :- for making enery in fasting or postabsorptive state cells use stored glycogen to form energy by help of glucogen.

2. Absorptive state :- same as cells neuron use glucose in absorptive state.

Postabsorptive state :- but in postabsorptive state nerons get dependent on ketone bodies to form energy as body lead metabolism towards ketogenic metabolism.

3. Absorptive state :- stimulus blood glucose level increases in blood at absorptive state as glucose is yet to metabolise and triggers insulin production.

Postabsorptive state - in this state stimulus blood glucose decrease as few traces of glucose is left in blood as it get converted into glucogen.
